A crucial part of the role of all school and early
childhood teachers is to respond effectively to children and young people whose
safety and wellbeing may be at risk, or who are in need of protection.

All staff
working in early childhood settings and schools within Victoria, particularly
those with mandatory reporting obligations, are strongly encouraged to
regularly undertake and complete online modules.

If you’re thinking about taking a leave of absence from teaching or you don’t feel you’ll be able to meet the requirements when you renew your registration, non-practising registration is a convenient option that will allow you to transition back into (full) registration with minimal fuss.
